The Good News

© 2002 by Herb Linn

 

Here’s the bad news

Man fell from grace

Disobeyed his Father

And thus condemned his race

Here’s the bad news

Man fell from grace

 

Here’s the bad news

We’re all gonna die

Our bones will sink into the earth

Our ashes float upon the sky

Here’s the bad news

We’re all gonna die

 

But here’s the good news

God sent His Son

The baby in the stable

Was the Anointed One

Here’s the good news

God sent His Son

 

But here’s some bad news

The man without sin

Brought us the love of God

Yet he was slain by men

Here’s the bad news

He was slain by men

 

And here’s some bad news

They laid Him in a tomb

Then they rolled a solid rock

That sealed the world in gloom

Here’s the bad news

They laid Him in a tomb

 

But here’s the good news

Jesus is alive!

He rose up from the grave

They saw Him with their eyes

Here's the good news

Jesus is alive!

 

And here’s the gospel

He will save your soul

Just believe in Him

And confess your sin

He will make you whole

Here’s the good news

He will save your soul

 

But here’s some bad news

It ain’t over yet

We’ve still got a race to run

And Satan’s takin’ bets

Here’s the bad news

It ain’t over yet.

 

And here’s some bad news

We just slip and slide

We want to be faithful

But we stumble on our pride

Here’s the bad news

We just slip and slide

 

But here’s the good news

Jesus forgives

Our Father sees His precious Son

In our hearts where He lives

Here’s the good news

Jesus forgives

 

And here’s the gospel

He will save your soul

Just believe in Him

And confess your sin

He’ll make you whole

Here’s the good news

He will save your soul

 

Yes here’s the good news

He has saved my soul
